Smith campaign spends heavily to win Alberta byelection
Danielle Smith's bid to become local MLA in the November by election spent about 78,860, the highest among candidates and likely a local record. Gwendoline Dirk followed with 52,993 and Barry Morishita with 0. The Edmonton Calgary area donors funded the two thirds of funding, while byelection donations were not itemized. The comparison notes Michaela Frey's 2019 by election spending at just under 58,000 and NDP challenger Lynn McWilliam's 16,300.
